Woman Adopts Elderly Dog From Shelter And Finds Out It's Actually Her Lost Childhood Puppy
Monday 3 years ago
Bit of a misleading title here. The dog wasn't lost, she was given away when she was a few years old because the dad worked from home and the dog barked too much. The dog also wasn't at a shelter, she was being adopted out by a family.

Why is this a bad question (people downvoted). At least here in the USA, construction and other companies can be fined massive amounts for causing ecological 'disasters' such as this. Yes, it's an incredible archeological find, but the company still lost a LOT of water. Where did it go? What harm did it do? I think that's what Thomas may have been asking. The company obviously screwed up- even with a find such as was uncovered.

Let’s All Just Try And Be Decent 3 years ago
$6.75!!! I just looked up what $7 in 1975 equals to in 2022. (Would let me use decimal points) Apparently it's only just over $37 today. Which for the UK... is £28. I can't get over this. I honestly expected it to be a couple hundred at least. What the hell happened to music concerts to mean that the actual young crazy obsessed fans can't actually afford to go / bankrupt themselves in the process! This is absolutely nuts. And kind of makes me wish I lived in the 60's / 70's. Yes. A lot of horrible s**t happened. But there's also a lot of horrible s**t happening today, so....
JessG 3 years ago
I think the main reason is not just inflation, but how much the band grew in popularity and fame. So, while yes, it would be about $37 today, because they lasted so long, kept creating great stuff, and became one of rock and rolls' voices of a generation, the price went way up. I also feel that bands sometimes don't have much of a choice as to how much is charged, not to mention the audiences grew so much, spanning more than one generation of fans. So while albums were much more expensive that a concert back then, now it's the other way around.

Be careful with old artist supplies (even crayons). Some of them can have dangerous ingredients. Lead, for example. The kinds of ingredients in some colours are unreal.

There was a photographer on Mt St Helen's the day it blew. Everyone had evacuated. Ash was everywhere and he realized there was no way he could outrun the massive amount of stuff headed down the mountain like a flash flood. He hunkered down and wrapped his camera up and covered it with his body to try and protect the film. He saw the initial eruption and what no one else could ever see what he saw. He was killed but somehow his camera survived. The photos he took are nothing short of miracle. I'm sorry I can't remember his name. I'm sure google can find.

Archaeologists have found a "fantastically preserved" 5100-year-old door in the Swiss city of Zurich. The door could have been made in the year 3063 BC, chief archaeologist Niels Bleicher said. The find is one of the oldest doors ever found in Europe and remarkable "because of the way the planks were held together", Mr Bleicher said. The find was made at a dig preceding the construction of an underground car park for Zurich's opera house. The door, which is 153cm (5ft) high and 88cm wide, was among the traces of at least five Neolithic villages believed to have existed at the site. It is made of poplar wood and "solid and elegant" with well-preserved hinges, Mr Bleicher said. The door would have been part of a wooden stilt house designed to keep out the cold winds blowing across Lake Zurich, the archaeologist added. "It's a clever design that even looks good," he said. The archaeologists plan to exhibit the door once it has been carefully removed from the ground and soaked in a

I discovered a TINY pink hand-knit sweater that my Oma had knitted me for when I was a baby - jammed in behind the drawer.

That's exactly what the cost should be today. 100% of the equipment used for your birth was used for 1000 births before yours and will be used for 1000 after. The same is true about most medical equipment. They just simply put it through a washing machine or a dishwasher and it's good to go.
Sinkvenice 3 years ago
It's a tad more of a deep clean than a washing machine or dishwasher :-D I get your point though of course; although I'd say it shouldn't cost anything at all.

In this case, I'm guessing the movie-going experience is a much sweeter memory than the actual movie, lol. No offence to any "Thumbelina" fans out there! My Dad took me to see a rerelease of "Bambi" back in the early '70s, which was almost as amazing as the second film he took me to see that same year. Dad was a sci-fi fan and thought taking his 7-year-old daughter to "The Andromeda Strain" was a good idea! All I recall VERY well was a scene where the main guy was walking through a town full of dead people. Not cool, Dad!

My Very First Find! And Kind Of Funny Because My Brother Lost This 25+ Years Ago
Lindsey Judd-Bruder 3 years ago (edited)
My mom had a set of marbles, when she was a little girl, that her sister (my aunt) buried in their yard, playing "pirate treasure". My aunt then forgot where she buried them, and the marbles were lost. (Yeah, Mom lost her marbles, LOL!) My mom and her siblings grew up very poor, and they didn't have many toys. So this loss made her very sad, as well as angry at my aunt, for a while. They eventually got over it, of course, and her family always was, and still is, very close. But I've never forgotten that story. And when I was a little girl, and we visited Grandma, I'd often dig around in her yard (not big holes, or anything, lol, mostly in pawing around in bare patches around the trees, and in the dirt under her porch), hoping I might one day find those marbles for my mother. Unfortunately, I never did. But it's a nice, if somewhat bittersweet, memory, for me.
